Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering monitoring technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary tool for underground pore pressure and soil pressure monitoring with a single multi-element device. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering projects, it is often necessary to install earth pressure cells and pore pressure gauges for related monitoring. The installation depth and direction of the earth pressure cells need to be controlled according to the design. For pore water pressure monitoring, it is also necessary to use fine sand to fill the area where the element is installed and clay to fill other areas, otherwise the accuracy of the data will be affected. The installation of monitoring elements usually involves drilling holes with a drilling rig and then using a drill rod to assist in the installation, in order to control the installation depth and direction of the earth pressure cells. Generally, one element is installed per hole, which leads to high drilling costs, a large deployment area, and some misalignment between earth pressure and pore pressure monitoring data.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a method that can deploy multiple monitoring components in a single hole and control the burial direction and depth to improve construction convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an auxiliary tool for burying underground pore pressure and soil pressure monitoring components using a single-hole, multi-component device, to solve the problem of misalignment in soil pressure and pore pressure monitoring data caused by deficiencies in existing monitoring component burial technologies.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, an auxiliary tool for underground pore pressure and soil pressure monitoring with multiple devices in a single pore is provided, including a steel ladder and geotextile. The steel ladder is provided with horizontal bars at intervals, and pressure boxes and pore pressure gauges are provided at intervals along the length of the steel ladder. The pressure boxes and pore pressure gauges are spaced apart. Multiple layers of geotextile are wrapped around the surface of the pore pressure gauges and pressure boxes. Sand layers are filled between adjacent geotextile layers. The pore pressure gauges and pressure boxes are connected to an external monitor via a data cable, and the surface of the data cable is connected to the steel ladder via a wrapping film and a binding strap.

[0006] Based on the above scheme, the bottom of the steel reinforcement ladder is provided with a conical tip, which is conical, frustum-shaped or cross-shaped.

[0022] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an auxiliary tool for underground pore pressure and soil pressure monitoring using a single-hole multi-element device, comprising a steel ladder 10 and geotextile 12. The steel ladder 10 is provided with horizontal bars 11 at intervals to increase the pressure points. Pressure boxes 20 and pore pressure gauges 30 are provided at intervals along the length of the steel ladder 10. The pressure boxes 20 and pore pressure gauges 30 are arranged alternately. Multiple layers of geotextile 12 are wrapped around the surface of the pore pressure gauges 30 and pressure boxes 20. Sand layers 41 are filled between adjacent layers of geotextile 12. The pore pressure gauges 30 and pressure boxes 20 are connected to an external monitor via a data cable 60, and the surface of the data cable 60 is connected to the steel ladder 10 via a wrapping film 42 and a binding strap 43.

[0025] Specifically, this utility model uses small-diameter steel bars welded into a steel ladder 10. The steel bars have a small diameter, are flexible and bendable, making it easy to lower the steel ladder 10 when buried at great depths.

[0026] The spacing of the longitudinal bars of the steel ladder 10 is generally controlled between the borehole diameter and the earth pressure box 20 diameter. The length of the steel ladder 10 is determined according to the depth of the components to be embedded.

[0027] This utility model arranges a horizontal rib 11 every 1m or 0.5m on the steel reinforcement ladder 10, which is beneficial for fixing components such as the earth pressure box 20 and preventing them from sliding. It is also convenient to determine the embedment depth when binding components on site, and can control the torsional deformation of the steel reinforcement ladder 10 and control the direction of the earth pressure box 20.

[0028] The form of the steel reinforcement ladder 10 is not limited to the shape shown in the attached figure. It can adopt various styles such as beveled angles and densification at the component locations. The steel reinforcement ladder 10 is also not limited to a planar form. The longitudinal reinforcement can be set with 3, 4 or more bars to form a steel cage.

[0029] To facilitate placement, the bottom of the steel reinforcement ladder 10 of this utility model is provided with a tip. The tip is a cone-shaped, frustum-shaped, or cross-shaped pile tip, slightly narrowed to be smaller than the borehole diameter. Multiple layers of wrapping film 42 are wrapped around the steel reinforcement ladder 10 at the depth where the earth pressure box 20 needs to be placed. The earth pressure box 20 is placed on it, and then multiple layers of wrapping film 42 are wrapped around it again. This allows for quick and convenient fixation of the earth pressure box 20 on the steel reinforcement ladder 10, and precise control of the burial depth of the monitoring components.

[0030] The earth pressure cell 20 and the pore pressure gauge are wrapped with more than 12 layers of geotextile fabric. Fine sand is filled in the outer layer to ensure that the probe is in the sand layer 41, which prevents it from being blocked by soil particles and thus failing, and also prevents it from being damaged by stones in the borehole. The wrapping volume is small and does not affect the subsequent backfilling of sand in the monitoring borehole.

[0031] Data transmission lines of multiple monitoring components are tied along the inside of the steel ladder 10. Tape, wrapping film 42, or binding straps can be used, which is convenient and quick, and protects the measuring lines from being worn by sand and gravel in the hole when the steel ladder 10 with the components tied is lowered.

[0032] When lowering the steel reinforcement ladder 10, according to the horizontal direction that needs to be monitored for soil pressure, the steel reinforcement ladder 10 is lowered into the borehole in the corresponding direction. With the help of the gravity of the steel reinforcement ladder 10, it can be lowered quickly. At the same time, the rigidity of the steel reinforcement ladder 10 can ensure that the direction of the monitoring components remains unchanged according to the preset direction.

[0033] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a protective sleeve 51. The surface of the protective sleeve 51 is evenly distributed with permeation holes 50. The protective sleeve 51 is fitted onto the surface of the steel reinforcement ladder 10 to prevent the pressure box 20 and the pore pressure gauge 30 from being damaged during the process below. Specifically, the protective sleeve 51 is spaced apart from the steel reinforcement ladder 10, and a sandbag 52 filled with fine sand is placed between the protective sleeve 51 and the steel reinforcement ladder 10. The cross-section of the sandbag 52 is annular and it is fitted onto the surface of the steel reinforcement ladder 10.

[0034] Finally, the method described in this application is merely a preferred embodiment and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
